‘Kill Jackie’ Release Date, Time, Trailer and Where to Watch Catherine Zeta-Jones’ New Thriller

Catherine Zeta-Jones is making a triumphant return with a revenge thriller that promises a stylish blend of assassin chaos and prestige television. Prime Video, Fremantle, and Steel Springs Pictures have officially announced the release date and unveiled new teaser artwork for the series. If you’ve been eager to see her lead a show again, your wait is almost over.

The ‘Kill Jackie’ release date is set for Friday, and how you watch it will depend on your location. Fans have enjoyed Zeta-Jones in Netflix’s ‘Wednesday,’ but now she’s back in the spotlight on screens worldwide. Here’s everything you need to know before the premiere of the first episode.

‘Kill Jackie’ will premiere on Friday, Oct. 2, 2026, as an eight-episode series. This date applies to both Prime Video and AMC+, though the release format varies significantly between the two platforms. Make sure to mark your calendars, as spoilers are likely to spread quickly.

While the announcements do not specify an exact time for the premiere, streaming services typically release new episodes at a designated hour on the day of release. It’s best to check your app on Friday morning for the latest updates. For those following a weekly schedule, the full episode lineup is already available. Episode one, titled ‘Burning Down the House,’ airs on Oct. 2, followed by ‘Invaders Must Die’ on Oct. 9, ‘She’s Gone’ on Oct. 16, ‘Cocaine Blues’ on Oct. 23, and ‘Here She Comes’ on Oct. 30, ensuring a month filled with buzz.

In the U.S., viewers will need AMC+ to catch the series. It premieres exclusively on AMC+ on Friday, October 2, with new episodes released weekly, leading to a slow burn for U.S. fans who will be following the story one chapter at a time.

International audiences will have a different experience. The series will debut on Prime Video on Oct. 2 in the U.K., Ireland, the Netherlands, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Canada, with all eight episodes available on the same day. If you’re in one of those regions, you can binge-watch the entire series over the weekend.

This split release strategy is a notable choice for AMC+. The weekly format mirrors what ‘The Terror: Devil In Silver’ recently experienced, which proved successful enough to earn that series a fourth season renewal. Whether ‘Kill Jackie’ can replicate that success remains to be seen.

The premise of ‘Kill Jackie’ is pure pulp fun with a polished touch. Jackie Price has enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle for two decades, traveling the globe, selling fine art, and attempting to remain anonymous after escaping a perilous past as an international drug smuggler. However, a quiet life is not meant to last.

Things take a deadly turn when she learns that The Seven Demons, a group of the world’s most dangerous hitmen, have been sent to kill her. Instead of fleeing, Jackie decides to turn the tables, planning to eliminate The Demons one by one before they can complete their mission.

However, the hunt is not solely about survival. According to the official synopsis, Jackie soon realizes that her own demons are far more terrifying than the ruthless assassins pursuing her, and her hidden secrets lead her back home, resulting in unexpected consequences. This promise of personal fallout adds a compelling emotional layer to the action.

The source material also enhances the narrative. The show is based on the acclaimed novel ‘The Price You Pay’ by Sunday Times bestselling author Nick Harkaway, writing as Aidan Truhen. Fans of the book will be eager to see how faithfully the series adapts its intricate plot.

Zeta-Jones leads an impressive cast, which includes Daniel Ings, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Óscar Jaenada, Hattie Hook, Darci Shaw, Raff Law, Julian Barratt, Jonathan Cake, Bill Paterson, and Ron Perlman. This ensemble promises a rich experience for a revenge thriller.

Behind the scenes, the creative team is equally impressive. The series is co-produced by Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures, bringing together talent from acclaimed series like ‘Killing Eve’ and ‘Gangs of London.’ These credentials suggest a blend of sharp humor and intense action.

Tom Butterworth serves as the writer and showrunner, while Damon Thomas, known for directing episodes of ‘Killing Eve,’ is the lead director. One outlet even described the project as a television version of ‘John Wick.’ With this tone in mind, which of The Seven Demons are you most excited to see Jackie take down first, and do you think her hidden secrets will have a greater impact than any assassin?
